The Culture Engine: Human-Powered Change For High Performance Teams

Details

Please note the day change - this meeting will be on WEDNESDAY, January 22!

Overview

We aspire to make great software. But too often we come up short. In this presentation, we’ll discuss why making great software depends less on tools, techniques, and talented individuals, and more on working together effectively to solve difficult problems.

The best teams and organizations—those that achieve the highest performance and take the greatest joy in their work—express a unique discipline in the way they work together defined by the agreements they make and the workplace culture that results from making and managing agreements well.

Agreements, well made and well managed, are the engine of culture change. The culture engine, when properly maintained and fueled, creates an environment that amplifies the power of tools, techniques, and talented individuals to enable the extraordinary collaboration that is required to achieve extraordinary results.
